It’s weird right? I saw more rebel flags in West Virginia than I ever had in Alabama.

I've been to many states, but I live in Alabama and always have. This place has so many rebel flags. What parts have you lived in? They are all over the place in the areas I've been. Definitely more than in any other state I've been to.

Granted, when traveling to other states I tend to stay on highways so I likely don't see nearly as much backwoods as I do around here.

Down on the coast in bama. But, I was working in rural areas in WV. I also had never seen poverty quite like I did in WV.

See, that's the way I feel about Alabama. When going through really backwoodsy places in bama, I always think "I've never seen poverty like this anywhere else."

So it seems like it's usually the poor areas with the rebel flags, regardless of what the state is.

People keep trying to appropriate our culture. I will say my thick choctaw county accent really made dating easy when I was in oregon.
